CHAPTER ONE: A new beginning
I know you must have heard of elves but have you ever heard of gem elves most importantly green gem elves which were known as lykras? Long time ago in a land far far away stood the great Wall of aneathra the city of gem elves, as a gem elf the colour of your gem determines the power you have, if it's red you have fire, blue means water, white means healing, brown means nature and then there was green gem elves, the green gem elves where the ancestors of all gem elves because they had all the powers any elf could ever dream of and that made them prone to other elves hatred, as the legend says, a group of other gem elves wanted to capture the lykras to kill them so that they could have their powers thus began the hunting of lykras till one day the lykras said enough is enough, they all gather in the middle of the elf city and killed themselves this led the particular group of gem elves to be cursed by the elf goddess making their gem turn black, it is said that they roam the outside walls of aneathra, the green gem elves have been extinct for 400years and no has ever seen a black gem elf too, while some people do believe they are black gem elves out there, most of the elves of aneathra because they haven't seen a green gem elf they didn't believe it, they said it was a myth or so they thought.
The king of the elves davan ran all the way to the midwife's quarters, his wife Andria was about to give birth and he couldn't bear to loose another Child, one of the midwives ran out to meet davan, it's seems she too had heard of the news, they both rushed to Andria Chambers, before getting there they could hear Andria's scream all the way from where they stood, king davan felt useless that he couldn't take away his wife's pain but it would be worth it when they hold their child in their arms.
As soon as the midwife Mana got there, she quickly went towards the queen “ Breath your majesty it's going to be alright, just breath for me and open your legs when I tell you to push, you push okay?," Mana told the queen, Andria didn't respond but Mana knew she heard, davan seemed agitated so Mana told him to wait outside that when the baby is ready to be born he can come back, davan hesitated for a while but then left, he's presence was of no use at this point, as he went outside he saw more midwives running towards he's wife Chambers, he could hear everything happening inside, his wife shouted to the midwives that they should get the child out of her the midwives just told her to calm down. Davan paced the front of Andria's chamber and waited, some of his trustworthy, loyal elves were here to support me, they watched him Pace in front of them
“ King Davan maybe you would like to sit for a while, you pacing around is not helping matters," Oliver said, the king ignored him and continued pacing, they eventually gave up and let him do what ever he wanted, some hours later one of the midwives came out
“ King Davan you wife is about to give birth to the child and she wants you by her side," the midwife said and left, King Davan didn't want to go in because he hated seeing his wife in so much pain but since she needed him he was going to be there. As soon as he entered her room, he went straight to her and gave her palm a little squeeze
“ It's going to be okay my love, very soon we'll have our little elf in our arms," Davan kissed the top of he's wife's head, Andria took a deep breath before closing her eyes “ It would all be worth it," she thought
“ Push my queen, push," Mana told her, Andria pushed while thinking of how her baby would feel like in her arms while the King held her hands and was whispering positive things in her ear, soon after they heard a baby cry
“ It's a girl" Mana shouted, Andria let out a breath of relief, Davan rejoiced with the midwives, he took the child from Mana and went towards he's wife, he looked at her and said
“ Her name shall be Melian," he said with so much authority, he looked at his beautiful daughter in his arms
“ Because she's a dear gift." he added, Andria couldn't stop herself from shedding tears of joy, finally after so many years she had finally given davan a child, this child really is a gift, she stretched her hands towards melian, she wanted to hold her baby in her arms forever, davan frowned at her
“ You are too weak my darling wife, rest for now when you wake up she will be right by your side." Andria wanted to argue but she could already feel her eyes drooping, she tried to keep her eyes wide open but eventually surrendered and slept, just then her mother Anna entered the Chambers, davan motioned towards andria so she won't make any noise, Anna nodded and moved towards davan and melian, she nodded at davan before turning her attention to the sleeping child who was nuzzling her father's chest her eyes softened
“ Can I hold her for a bit?," Davan handed the baby over to her, when she was sure the baby was secure in her arms, she raised her head and looked at davan
“ What's her name?," Davan smiled at her before caressing his daughter's face
“ Melian," Anna smiled at him
“ Melian, I can already see it that you are a very special little elfling." she touched melian's before smiling at davan, a very special elfling indeed.
